Exciting news! Motiv was able to support NASA Goddard with their robotics at NASA Day on the Hill. NExIS made it all the way to D.C. to strike a pose for members of Congress. #nasa #robotics #space

Huge congratulations to the amazing team behind COLDArm! 🎉👏 How exciting to have the opportunity to collaborate with JPL and showcase your incredible work together! 🔥🚀 latimes.com/science/story/20…

How to build a robot arm that can flex in the moon’s frigid south pole

NASA’s next trip to the moon will explore its south pole, an area that gets even colder than Mars. So scientists need a robotic arm system that can function in temperatures as low as minus 280 F.

Motiv attended the STEM Fair at Glen A. Wilson High School in Hacienda Heights last weekend to talk to students about what Motiv does and the path to a career in aerospace engineering. We had front-row seats to a robot battle and a good view of a roving dragon, too! #STEM

#NASA has been developing plans to land on the #Moon since 1958. Motiv takes a look at the history of these projects and how they have shaped the future of the #Artemis Program. Learn More: bit.ly/3FOQBVT

The History of Lunar Base Planning, from Buzz Aldrin to Artemis

As humans, we have always desired to explore our surroundings. We have also spent thousands of years looking up into the night sky at the Moon, wondering what that luminous white body held.

Debris in #space has become one of the biggest challenges satellite operators face. The FCC recently changed the deorbit limit from 25 to 5 years. To meet the need to capture inoperable spacecraft, Motiv’s #robotic and mechanical systems will be key. bit.ly/3PKLqLo

New FCC Rules Cut Satellite Deorbit Timeline by 20-Years

Since the launch of Sputnik in 1957, the space around Earth has grown increasingly cluttered. From spent rocket stages to pieces of satellites, as of May 2021, the U.S. Department of Defense Space...
